For City, Yaya Toure is suspended and will miss the game, but James Milner is back following his knee injury. City fans will be wondering whether new striker Wilfried Bony could make his first start for the team, and if so how much of an impact he will have against the Spanish La Liga giants.
Barcelona will be big favorites to win this two-legged match, and make the Champions League quarter finals for the eighth time in a row.

Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique has said ahead of the game: "It is one of the games of the year, the most important until now. They will try to attack us and that suits us. It has been proven over the past few months that we are better against teams that attack us because we can counter-attack."
